There are some games where you need to make special movement with your mouse (spell casting or any other action).

Something like this enter image description here

So basically, how can I compare mouse movement to my pattern (let's say defined by series of points (x, y). I assume there's no need to track the position every frame, there must be an interval.

But in terms of technique, how can I do it?

    \$\begingroup\$ Did you try googling mouse gesture recognition to get an overview of some of the existing techniques first? Is there a particular technique you've found in your research thus far that you need help implementing? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 17, 2017 at 14:56

I think the best way to solve this is by using a neural network that has been trained extensively on a lot of data. Draw your own shapes, make your friends draw them etc. It would then be able to guess which one the user tries to draw even if it's not perfect.

More info on how to model a neural network to recognize hand drawn shapes can be found here
